hi,me and my wife are hoping to go abroad for the first time later this year but i,m a bit confused about the need for insurance.can someone explain to me what the differance is between me getting insurance and getting an "e111" form from the post office?doesn,t this form do the same job as personal insurance?also any other tips regerding going abroad(spain) would be greatly appreciated.

As far as i know that form only covers you for medical insurance, not anything else. You can take out insurance quite cheaply to cover you for cancellation of your holiday,credit card, cash and travellers cheques been stolen, it will also cover you for missing bags, cameras, personal liability etc, a few quid well spent in my book, enjoy your holiday.

We use https://www.direct-travel.co.uk you can book on line with them and they are reasonable £20 for 2 adults for 2 weeks. As bluemorph stated a e111 form will only cover you for medical insurance whilst away. If you hapened to have a accident on holiday and needed to be air-lifted home a e111 form would not cover this.
